2. Breeder guarantees the above described puppy is purebred.

3. Breeder guarantees this puppy is in good health and free from any contagious diseases upon this date. ____________________ 

4. Breeder can not guarantee the adult size, conformation or color. This depends on how the puppy is raised and cared for. 

5. Buyer shall have the puppy/dog examined by a licensed veterinarian within 48 hours of final purchase/possession transfer to ensure current health status. Proof must be e-mailed to the above address as an attachment in PDF format, faxed or mailed directly to the kennel by the veterinarian. If proof is not provided of the initial veterinarian exam for the purchased puppy, the kennel reserves the right of immediate repossession of the purchased puppy without any refunded monies and/or immediate termination of this guarantee. If repossession is not chosen by the kennel, then this contract shall be voided immediately on the 3rd day after purchase. If a hereditary problem is detected within the first 48 hours, the buyer may return the defective puppy for an exchange of another of equal value of purchase price. If an equal value pup is unavailable, but a higher priced pup is, buyer shall pay the difference in prices. If another of equal value is unavailable at the time, the buyer may have to wait for the next available litter of equal value. This may take up to 2 years for a replacement puppy. No refunds will be given, for any reason, only an exchange of puppies.

            *This health guarantee covers hip dysplasia, heart murmurs, blood disorders, thyroid disorders plus any and all genetic defects in the puppy that will make the puppy unsuitable as a pet with the exception that this does not guarantee against Alopecia in the dilute puppies, belly button hernia, under or over bite in the jaw or blindness/deafness in double dapple dachshunds.

*This health guarantee shall remain in effect for 90 days from the date of the initial vet visit with the exceptions listed in (a) and (b) below:

(a)To extend this guarantee up to 25 months, (after Maturity, which is determined to be 18 months), the purchased puppy/dog must be tested/pre-tested for hip defects. If the buyer does not provide a copy of the proof to the breeder of a hip certification (through OFA), the hip dysplasia guarantee is voided after the puppies 19th month birthday.

            (b)Your puppy has been started on NuVet Vitamins. This health guarantee is effective only for 90 days after the initial vet visit, then extended to 25 months if the OFA certification has been completed and you have kept/keep your purchased puppy on these vitamins. You have been provided a sample at no extra charge to hold the puppy over to allow time for shipping directly to you from NuVet. If the buyer keeps the purchased puppy on the NuVet vitamins, this guarantee shall be extended a maximum of 5 years from the date of this contract. These vitamins are no different than a human taking vitamins for health supplement. You have been provided a brochure explaining the benefits of these vitamins to your puppy. If you fail to keep your puppy on the vitamins, plus obtain the OFA certification, the health guarantee is voided upon the puppies 19th month birthday.

6. Buyer may return the purchased puppy in the event of a life threatening defect. Only an equal value puppy shall be its replacement. If an equal value puppy is not available, but a higher valued puppy is, then the buyer shall pay the difference to the breeder. The buyer may have to wait for up to two years after the return of the defective puppy. It is the buyer's responsibility to return the defective puppy at the buyer's expense.

7. Buyer shall assume the full responsibility for the health, temperament and appearance of the above described puppy upon possession transfer. 

8. Buyer further agrees to maintain the dog at all times in good health with regular check-ups by a licensed veterinarian, immunizations, wormings and medical care. Buyer agrees to provide appropriate housing according to state law. If the kennel finds that these conditions are not being met with regular checks to the buyers vet or proof can not be provided, the kennel reserves the right of immediate repossession. Buyer further agrees to release the vet from the privacy law and give the vet written permission for the kennel to obtain information directly from the vet at any time during the duration of this health guarantee.

9. The kennel has made every attempt to rid the puppy of internal parasites (worms), but can not guarantee against them. All puppies are born with internal parasites (worms) and it takes several de-worming treatments to completely rid the purchased pup of them. Our de-worming procedure is strictly adhered to. The kennel may or may not send Pyrantel Panomate (Nemex II)/Drontal with the purchaser at the time of possession transfer. If the kennel does not provide Pyrantel Panomate (Nemex II) or Drontal to the buyer, the buyer must request it from their veterinarian at the initial visit after a fecal test has been performed to rule that the above described puppy still has or does not have internal parasites (worms) in its system. The kennel highly suggests that the buyer still have the fecal performed even if the kennel has provided the necessary medicine for the internal parasites.

10. The actions and upbringing of the dog is the responsibility of the buyer. Under no circumstances will the breeder be held responsible for the dog's actions or temperament after possession transfer. The purchased puppy was bred for good temperament and was well socialized prior to leaving the kennel, but the breeder will not be responsible for the actions of others in the upbringing of the purchased puppy. 

11. Should you at anytime find that you are unable to keep the puppy; AK Countyline Kennels will take the puppy back without an exchange or monies refunded. However, the puppy must have had a physical and fecal exam to show no contagious diseases or parasites. The fecal MUST be tested for the following; Regular test, Parvo, Giardia and Coccidia. The test results, signature and printed name, address and phone number of the veterinarian along with a signed/notarized statement from you (the buyer) stating why you can not keep the puppy (i.e. bites, doesn’t like kids, has a gender preference, moving). This information will be needed to place the puppy with another family. Buyer further agrees that the purchased puppy (at any time in the puppy's life) shall never go to a rescue center, animal shelter or pound. Buyer agrees to relinquish the purchased puppy back to the breeder to allow the breeder to place the puppy in a new home. If it is necessary for the buyer to relinquish ownership of the puppy/dog immediately (for any reason), the breeder agrees to accept the puppy/dog (with no monies refunded) and place the puppy/dog into a new home. Fees incurred by the breeder for replacement for the puppy/dog shall be the responsibility of the buyer to reimburse to the breeder. This may include, but not limited to, advertising, boarding, medical attention, etc. Should the above owner pass away, the family may return the dog to the breeder at any time with no monies refunded nor will the family be billed for fees incurred by the breeder for re-placement of the dog. A statement of such shall accompany the puppy’s return signed and notarized by one of the family members.

12. After possession transfer, the kennel at no time takes any responsibility for any injuries to the purchased puppy caused by another pet, children, car accident, fight, strangulation, mutilation, abuse, suffocation, poisoning or accidental injury caused by any other animal or persons that the buyer shall choose to place the purchased puppy with for care. In the event this puppy dies, then the buyer shall be responsible for the necropsy to be performed by the vet of the kennels choice. This must be delivered to the kennel no later than 48 hours after the death of the puppy. The necropsy report from the vet must be faxed or mailed to the kennel if the buyer wishes to have the deceased puppy replaced. In the event of the necropsy proving that the death was caused by any thing other than a life threatening defect, the kennel will refuse the replacement of the puppy. 


13. Breeder agrees that the puppy is healthy at the time of possession transfer and the puppy has received immunizations and de-wormings. **A health chart and immunization schedule has been or will be provided to the new owner upon possession transfer.***

14. Buyer agrees that with the purchase of any full AKC registration puppy, the breeder reserves the right of co-ownership. Co-ownership is described as the breeder shall place their name and address first on the registration before it is provided to the buyer and the buyer shall become the co-owner until the following regulations are met. The registration shall be sent to the breeder from the registry and a photocopy shall be sent from the breeder to the buyer upon receipt. Once the below requirements are met (if any), the breeder shall relinquish co-ownership and sign the necessary paperwork for the buyer to become sole owner of the purchased puppy, then said paperwork shall be sent via USPS to the buyer. If the buyer has purchased a non-breeding puppy, spay or neuter is required no later than 6 months of age and to be performed by the buyer's veterinarian of choice. Proof of spay or neuter from the veterinarian is required for co-ownership to be relinquished from the breeder.
